May Your Days be Merry & Bright

Hello there my crafty friends!  I selected a piece of pixied card from my background stash pile.  I used Midnight Blue and Purple Violet Pixie Powders on it then used a paint brush and blended the colours together.  I cut the Moonlight Sleigh Cover Plate out of black card.  I added custard card behind the windows in all the buildings.  I glued the Cover Plate die to the pixied background.  I cut the die a second time out of white card and nipped away the Santa, sleigh and reindeer and glued them on top of the black die cut.  I matted it with white and black mats, then added it to a larger piece of white card.  I cut the May Your Days Be Merry & Bright sentiment in black ,then added it to a white shadow backing die.  I added mounting foam to the back then attached it below the Cover Plate die.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 8"  x  8 1/4"  in size.  


All for now, Sue x

Lovely card again today Sue. Trying to get my act together and make some Christmas cards but like most crafters keep going off at tangents and not achieving much. WakeyL

Hi Sue, I love this card and the die which although a bit fiddly (especially the antlers!) is worth the effort for the end result.
